For the Soaking
- 1 package savoiardi (ladyfingers) biscuits
- 1 cup milk (or light coffee – optional)
For the Cream
- 250 g mascarpone cheese
- 200 ml cold liquid cream (heavy cream)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4–5 tablespoons pistachio cream (pistachio paste)
For the Topping
- Ground pistachios or pistachio pieces
- Prepare the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the cold liquid cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese and pistachio cream, mixing until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Soak the Biscuits: Lightly dip each savoiardi biscuit into milk or light coffee for a few seconds, ensuring they absorb some liquid but do not become soggy.
- Layer the Dessert: In a serving tray, arrange a layer of the soaked biscuits. Spread a generous layer of the pistachio cream over the biscuits evenly.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process with another layer of soaked biscuits followed by the pistachio cream. Finish with a final layer of cream on top.
- Add the Topping: Sprinkle ground pistachios or pistachio pieces over the top cream layer for added texture and flavor.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld and the dessert set properly.
Notes
- For a richer pistachio flavor, spread extra pistachio cream between the layers.
- Grated white chocolate complements the pistachio flavor beautifully and can be added as an optional topping.
- Ensure the cream is well chilled before whipping for better volume and texture.
- Use good quality mascarpone for a smoother and creamier tiramisu.
